Create an uploads directory under media #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Description:

1. we should have an uploads directory under media
2. as part of the install, we should document the creation of this
directory with the appropriate permissions
3. Photologue, for instance, knows where to look for this directory

All files created by the app should go in uploads/, including photologue.  So 
photologue is not doing the right 
thing when it creates media/photologue/.

We should probably define a setting to for this, like 

UPLOADS_PREFIX = '/some/absolute/path/dir'

Then in every model do something like this at the top:

if settings.UPLOADS_PREFIX:
   UPLOADS_PREFIX = settings.UPLOADS_PREFIX
else:
   UPLOADS_PREFIX = 'uploads' 

and reference that in the model:

class Video(Model):
      title = CharField()
      file = FileField(upload_to=UPLOAD_PREFIX+'videos/%Y/%m/%d/')
      ...

Or we might centralize this somewhere better and call a function at the to like 
UPLOAD_PREFIX = 
get_upload_prefix().  We do something like this in my_profiles/models.py, but I 
think we still want to keep 
the apps portable, so maybe Brain can weigh in on this.

It looks like this request has been incorporated into video.

I added creating a media directory to the install docs.

The issue with photologue still needs to be looked into further.
